    Well planned intro to weaving

    I have really enjoyed this course, having postponed trying to learn weaving for several years. I am not sure where it will take me but it is an itch I needed to scratch and this is an easy and affordable way to do it.

    Everything you need to get started with weaving!

    I'm very pleased with this course and kit so far. Although I had a little wait for the kit as Ellie was away I could access the lessons straight away. So far the lessons are very clear and I particularly like the fact that pdfs accompany the videos.
    The kit itself is beautiful with a nice little selection of yarns to get you going. The loom looks to be well made, although I haven't had time to practise weaving on it yet. I love the inclusion of a vintage fork as a beater. As a very lazy crafter I would have appreciated the inclusion of the suggested cardboard guide, but this is so minor a quibble as to not be a quibble.
    All in all I'm pleased with my purchase and look forward to actually starting some weaving soon.
